Is OpenSource AI Threatening The Tech Titans?

In early March, the open source community got their hands on Meta’s LLaMA which was leaked to the public. In barely a month, there are very innovative OpenSource AI model variants with instruction tuning, quantization, quality improvements, human evals, multimodality, RLHF, etc.

Open-source models are faster, more customizable, more private, and capable. They are doing things with $100 and 13B params that even market leaders are struggling with. One open-source solution, Vicuna, is an Open-Source Chatbot Impressing GPT-4 with 90%* ChatGPT Quality.

Who will want to pay major premiums for OpenAI Chat GPT4 is there are open-source options performing at 90% comparisons when it is free?
